Welcome to the official blog for House of Thwacks! I'll be posting updates on new products, giving sneak peeks at things I'm working on, and just, in general, letting the world know about the devious designs that I am coming up with.
And with that introduction out of the way, here's the real heart of the matter with my first blogged about release!
The Game – D/s Spin the Bottle
This game has been a work in progress for what feels like ages now. I actually had the idea for it back before I started really animating, and way before I released my first two props. I released those so I could have some experience under my belt before I tackled the project that started it all. This game.
D/s Spin the bottle seats from one to eight people (Although most of the animations look really strange by yourself.. Just sayin'.)
It has two main game modes:
Traditional, where Dominants rule supreme and submissives are their victims. Submissives can never pick their own animations, they may get to spin, but when they spin, if they land on a Dominant, that Dominant gets to choose, and even if they land on another submissive, it goes to either the owner of the spinner, or, if the spinner is unowned, the owner of the one the bottle landed on, or, even if that sub is unowned, the menu will simply go to a random Dom in attendance. (Because of that, it's not recommended that a game full of submissives plays in traditional mode... Nothing will ever get done.) And two Dominants are incapable of landing on each other. (Because we don't want any bickering breaking out during a fun game.)
Then there is Spinner's Rules, where the Spinner is always top. Even if you're sitting in a sub seat and land on someone in a throne, if you pick Spinner's rules, the spinner always gets Dominant. (For all you switchier people out there.)
You can also pick how long the game plays for, based on either the amount of turns before it calls game over, or the amount of time that the game will play. To break it down even further, you can pick how long the animations loop for, to either show off the quality of the animations ( 30 second loop ) or to properly give time to emote and really enjoy the experience of the game (Up to 10 minute loop).
There are 60 animations in the game.
5 Throne sitting animations.
5 kneeling animations
5 General/Other (Cuddles, sub chair, etc.)
15 Punishment
15 Foreplay
15 Sex
(I actually got to have a lot of fun with the animations in the game. Added in a few fetishes that I didn't get to in my other props. Like smothering (Face sitting), choking, heel fucking, sub chair.. Stuff like that.)

And the first person to sit down gets what I've dubbed the “Host Options” where they can prematurely end turns (If two people who don't want to emote together are stuck animating together), kick people from the game (If they are causing trouble or just in general shouldn't be participating), or completely change the rules set out in the beginning, (If you find that the animations are playing for too long, or not long enough, or if you set it to Spinner's, and really want Traditional. Although this does reset the game completely, and the amount of turns or time spent resets to 0).
The game is also able to be played at any angle. Have a hill in your yard that you'd really like to defile? Go ahead and tilt the rug to fit. Super interested in having relations on your wall? It can support that. Ceiling sex? Yep. That can happen, too.
I really hope you enjoy this game as much as I have enjoyed making it, and if it sounds entertaining or simply interesting to you, it is available on my marketplace for purchase.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have plenty of naughty times ahead!

P.S. A special thank you to the lovely people from Hard Alley for hosting an event for the game and letting me use their terribly naughty pictures on both my Flickr and this blog. You guys Rock!
